Question Will my A320M motherboard be able to support ryzen 5 5600x and ryzen 7 5700x?

[Sayan Logan]

Okay, So I have an MSI A320M-A PRO MAX motherboard and I want to upgrade my current CPU (R5 3500) to a new one (R5 5600x or R7 5700x), but don't want to upgrade my motherboard... will it work?

According to this it should work but can't be sure:

A320M-A PRO MAX | Motherboard | MSI Global

Best AMD AM4 A320 Micro ATX motherboard, Turbo M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, MSI PRO

Please help me clear my doubts and thanks in advance!

It'll drop in, just be sure to update the BIOS to the latest version, then clear CMOS and then drop in the above listed processors of your choice.

It'll have no problem with either CPU. They're both only 65W which is about as easy as it gets for a motherboard.

You'll need to update your BIOS all the way to the newest release but after that, it'll be smooth-sailing! 😊 👍
